Das schöne Tirol ist der Startpunkt des Lech-Radweges, der bis zu seinem Übertritt nach Deutschland ganz auf Tuchfühlung mit dem Lech geht. Die Fahrt führt durch eine der letzten wilden Flusslandschaften in Europa, durch die sich der gletscherblaue Fluss mit seinen malerischen weißen Kiesbänken und flankiert von hohen Bergen, seinen Weg bahnt. Das Naturschauspiel Lechfall markiert den Übergang nach Bayern, das die Reisenden mit seiner Bilderbuchlandschaft aus hügeliger Voralpengegend mit grünen Weiden, den prachtvollen Königsschlössern und blitzblauen Seen empfängt. Das lebensfrohe Füssen läutet dann den Reigen sehenswerter, historischer Städte ein, der sich nordwärts mit dem mittelalterlichen Landsberg am Lech und der Fuggerstadt Augsburg fortsetzt. Auf der Höhe des schmucken Städtchens Donauwörth mündet der Lech schlussendlich in die Donau und der Lech-Radweg in den Donauradweg.

Cruise Tourism is the fastest growing component of the leisure industry worldwide. It is one avenue that has dramatically boosted tourism economy of many regions such as the Caribbean, Alaska, Mediterranean, Antarctica etc. North America is the world's biggest cruise market with 55.1 % passenger source share.

As per the World Tourism Organization, Cruise Tourism has not even reached maturity stage in the regions with greatest demand i.e., North America, Europe and Asia.

For the year 2014 the total world-wide cruise industry is estimated at $37.1 billion which is a 2.3% increase compared to the year 2013.

Business partners in Australia had warned her. Papua New Guinea is not for women travelling alone and, moreover, not interesting at all. Only mine workers and scientists travel to this country, they said. Nevertheless, Gabriele Ruttloff-Bauer set out on 12 July 1992 to explore this little-known tourism destination. A Swiss tour operator wanted a first-hand report. It was a quick tour, with a packed itinerary typical for a tourism industry familiarisation trip. With the help of a local incoming agency, however, concerns quickly disappeared and Papua New Guinea and its people became an intense and exciting experience in this extraordinary and diverse country.This book is the author's original travel diary in German language illustrated with 78 of her own photographs - from her 1992 perspective.(Please note: this book will be printed on demand on standard colour paper)

What if you had the courage to follow your dreams?As a young woman, Terri Jockerst had a dream. She dreamt of new cultures, strange foods, a never-ending road unfurling ahead of her, and a bicycle to take her to freedom. She did not dream of cold showers, tyre punctures or being chased by slavering dogs. However, these are all part of life on the road and the freedom it promises.Having reached her sixties, Terri decided to throw all caution to the winds, and set off on a long bike ride from the North Cape of Norway to Malta, a distance of some seven thousand kilometres. The ride took 193 days, spread over three trips in three years. During her travels, Terri came face to face with reindeer, researched Viking runestones, dealt with flat tyres, tackled nudist bathing, dined in the Alps with other intrepid female solo cyclists, was awed by the Byzantine art of Italy, and eventually reached the sun-drenched island of Malta.The first question Terri was always asked was: "Are you alone?" The second question, "Aren't you afraid?" came straight after. Terri admits to fear but learnt to overcome that fear by finding the inner strength to go on, regardless.As she has said to anyone who has asked, and many who haven't: "If I can do it, you can too!" Read this book, get inspired, and follow your dreams!

Tourism was a distant hope as an engine for economic growth. Chuuk, Marshall Islands, Northern Marianas, Palau, Pohnpei, and Yap began promoting tourism at the same time. Policymakers in the Pacific look to tourism for national economic development, but they should not assume all Pacific states can successfully summon a tourist industry at will.
